Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe, the recently approved Public Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU has brought a major overhaul to EU law and made significant changes to the obligations of contracting authorities in the Member States. Concurrently, the new directive has introduced some measures of flexibility and important new requirements. This book focuses on the essence of these changes, starting with the definition of a public procurement contract, and ending with changes to concluded contracts. In between, essential aspects of the reform are analyzed, including the new rules on in house and public-public partnerships, on qualification, on the new and more flexible award procedures, including those aimed at fostering innovation. Specific attention is also paid to the new emphasis on strategic procurement, to the benefit of SMEs, and to the renewed efforts to exploit e-procurement and aggregated purchasing. The book's contributions provide an in-depth analysis of most of the new provisions in Directive 2014/24/EU and will be valuable to academics and practitioners, especially considering that some of the new provisions may have immediate effects.

Book Synopsis Improving procurement in further education colleges in England by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book Improving procurement in further education colleges in England written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-10-04 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2004 Gershon Efficiency Review proposed procurement as one of the main sources of efficiency savings in the public sector. The Learning and Skills Council, which funds England's 384 further education colleges, estimates that from an annual procurement expenditure of £1.6 billion, colleges could make savings of £75 million by March 2008. The savings made by colleges would be available to be redeployed into front-line services for learners. Until recently, many colleges have tended to treat procurement as a low priority and have not taken advantage of modern procurement methods such as purchasing consortia and procurement cards. They now need to modernise their systems so as to maximise the resources available for learning. Colleges increasingly have staff who are capable of managing procurement, but they are too often let down by the low quality of the systems and the management information available to them. There have been recent successes in persuading colleges of the benefits of joining purchasing consortia and using procurement cards. Indeed the savings target of £75 million may prove unambitious in light of the low starting point of many colleges. March 2008, when colleges make their first reports on savings to the Learning and Skills Council, will be a good time to consider whether greater savings can be made to be re-invested into services for learners.
Book Synopsis Framework Agreements, Supplier Lists, and Other Public Procurement Tools by : Serban Filipon
Download or read book Framework Agreements, Supplier Lists, and Other Public Procurement Tools written by Serban Filipon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at regulation, policy and implementation of framework agreements, supplier lists and other similar public procurement tools, with a strategic and pragmatic perspective. Whilst procurements of huge volumes and value are performed worldwide through such tools on a daily basis, and despite their complexity and diversity, this topic has rarely been studied in a systematic way. The book fills this major gap. It examines a series of public procurement systems or legal instruments selected to ensure wide coverage the UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement, the World Bank, the US federal procurement system, EU law, France, Romania, and the UK pre- and post-Brexit. By deconstructing over 20 'clusters' of tools into their key features along a pattern for analysis, the book reconstructs a conceptual framework for purchasing uncertain or indefinite requirements through a transversal perspective across public procurement systems. In this way, the book provides valuable orientation to law and policy makers for improving or reforming this area, to procurement officers in interpreting existing regulation and identifying innovative practical solutions, and to lawyers and the judiciary for a balanced application of the regulation. The book delivers essential material for procurement of uncertain or indefinite requirements.
Book Synopsis The Modernisation of State Aid for Economic and Social Development by : Bruno Nascimbene
Download or read book The Modernisation of State Aid for Economic and Social Development written by Bruno Nascimbene and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the recent modernisation of EU State aid law from various perspectives, and considers both substantive and procedural aspects. It also discusses the reasons for, and the goals and future implications of the modernisation programme, including the evolution of the concept of State aid. The ambitious reform programme was launched in 2012 and has now been almost fully implemented by virtue of the adoption of new rules of procedure in July 2013, and exemption in June 2014. The book highlights the main aspects of this sector reform, which include the Commission’s change of attitude towards so-called positive aid, i.e. those able to promote economic growth, and the intention to focus on matters of greater systematic extent. These objectives also imply a third aspect: increasing the intensity of the control powers conferred on the Commission with regard to that aid that prove to be harmful to competition and the internal market. The book also examines the greater responsibility given to States for self-assessment of their economic policy measures, and explores the resulting impact on, and challenges posed to the administrations of the Member States. The book’s second part is devoted to the application State aid rules in the area of services of general economic interest, with a special focus on aid in the field of social health and infrastructure.
Book Synopsis Financing Services of General Economic Interest by : Erika Szyszczak
Download or read book Financing Services of General Economic Interest written by Erika Szyszczak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the legacy of the 2003 ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Altmark. This case changed the direction of how Services of General and Economic Interest (SGEI) should be funded in the EU against a background of liberalisation, and the need for efficiency and global competitiveness. The book examines the European Commission’s response to the Altmark ruling in the measures known as the ‘Altmark-Monti-Kroes Package’ and charts the review of this package from 2009 culminating in a new package of measures, known as the ‘Almunia Package’. The seemingly technocratic idea of a review of the ‘Altmark-Monti-Kroes Package’ could not have anticipated the demanding and changed economic and constitutional context of the EU in 2009. It is in this light that the authors in this book explore in great detail the different components of the new ‘Almunia Package’ of measures introduced in 2011-2012, offering a critical review and highlighting where the future direction of the regulation of SGEI may lead as the EU struggles in an economic climate of austerity to balance a new constitutional dimension of a ‘highly competitive social market economy’ with a modernisation agenda for the single market.

This book was released on 2005-11-30 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the wide range of organisations it sponsors spend about £575 million a year buying goods and services. This NAO report examines the procurement practices used by the 25 largest organisations which are responsible for 97 per cent of the sector's procurement spend. Findings include that, whilst there are examples of good practice, procurement capabilities and practices are on the whole underdeveloped across the sector, and that better procurement practice could result in overall annual savings of £14 million by 2008-09 and double this within five years. The report sets out recommendations for ways to make further efficiencies into procurement across the sector, including improving co-ordinating how organisations work together to share knowledge and resources and to harness their buying power.

Download or read book The Procurement of Goods and Services by HM Prison Service written by and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Committee of Public Accounts revisits the Prison Service's procurement system five years after publishing a critical report on it (41st report, session 2002-03, HC 676, ISBN 9780215012647). The Committee notes that the Service has responded positively and decisively. It has implemented a new strategy and introduced a centralised profession al procurement team, supported by five regional procurement teams and a new information technology system. As a direct result of implementing the Committee's recommendations the Service has generated cash savings of £120 million to 2007-08. Whenever problems have been encountered, the Service has addressed them promptly, including difficulties in phasing in its new computer system. Compliance with laid down procedures is being tightened, to ensure that all areas of the Service utilise the procurement system as effectively and efficiently as possible. The Ministry of Justice announced in October 2008 that it is to centralise procurement across the Ministry into a single function, which would include the Prison Service. With a potential budget of £2.5 billion, the new procurement function offers the opportunity to secure substantial savings.
Book Synopsis Improving Procurement in Further Education Colleges in England by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book Improving Procurement in Further Education Colleges in England written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-10-25 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 384 further education colleges in England spend around £1.6 billion each year on procurement services, including administration and general costs, premises costs, non-pay teaching and support services. Procurement expenditure as a percentage of total income averages 25 per cent but varies widely across colleges, with the greatest variation among small and medium-sized colleges. The Learning and Skills Council has estimated that FE colleges could make £75 million efficiency savings by March 2008 through the introduction of more efficient and effective procurement processes. Drawing on good practice guidance from the Office of Government Commerce and on expertise within the National Audit Office gained from its reports on procurement in other sectors, this report makes eight recommendations for improved procurement. The recommendations are based on five key requirements, including: the need for clear leadership from governors and senior managers in improving procurement; information about appropriate methods of procurement; and exploring opportunities to collaborate with others to gain economies of scale when buying goods or services.
Book Synopsis Improving Government Procurement by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book Improving Government Procurement written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2010, the government has made a number of changes to its procurement structures and processes. There have been signs of good progress in key areas: expenditure on common goods and services is more centralised; participation by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has increased; and the Government Procurement Service is an improvement on its predecessor. The creation of a Chief Procurement Officer and associated positions has formed clearer lines of responsibility at the centre, and the Cabinet Office now has a firmer grip of procurement expenditure. Overall, the NAO expresses confidence in the Service's reported savings of £426 million in 2011-12 as a result of reductions in price owing to centralised procurement. Nevertheless, there have been problems in implementing the reforms, including ineffective governance structures, unrealistic targets, incomplete data and weaknesses in contract management. Government is not maximising the potential for savings through centralised procurement. There are some operational issues with GPS's management of the central contracts, with departments raising concerns about the inconsistency of contract management and the quality of customer service. And some weaknesses in implementation mean that the centralised approach is not releasing procurement resources in departments as originally expected. Roles and responsibilities for day-to-day contract management are unclear and there are inadequate mechanisms by which departments and the centre of government can hold each other to account. The Cabinet Office will have to lead a major cultural shift across government if the centralising of buying goods and services is to deliver the significant benefits on offer.
Book Synopsis Public Procurement and Labour Rights by : Maria Anna Corvaglia
Download or read book Public Procurement and Labour Rights written by Maria Anna Corvaglia and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates patterns of fragmentation and coherence in the international regulatory architecture of public procurement. In the context of the major international instruments of procurement regulation, the book studies the achievement of social and labour policies, the most controversial and problematic instrumental uses of public procurement practices. This work offers an innovative comparative approach, discussing the ways in which the different international instruments-namely the EU Procurement Directives, the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement, the UNCITRAL Model Law and the World Bank's Procurement Framework-are able to implement labour and social purposes and, at the same time, ensure a regulatory balance with the principles of efficiency and non-discrimination. Scholarly, rigorous and timely, this will be important reading for international trade lawyers and procurement practitioners.
Book Synopsis Naval Modernisation in South-East Asia by : Geoffrey Till
Download or read book Naval Modernisation in South-East Asia written by Geoffrey Till and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume analyses the naval arms race in South-East Asia, and reviews the content, purposes and consequences of the naval policies and development of the main countries of the region. The rise of naval capability in the countries of the Asia-Pacific Region is increasingly recognised as a major indicator of the ‘rise of Asia’ and its increasing importance in the world’s political, economic and strategic future. Most coverage focusses solely on the navies of the 'big four' – the US, China, India and Japan; however, the region’s other navies, though much smaller, are significant too. Given the current focus on the South China Sea and the Obama administration’s pivot to Asia, naval development in South-East Asia is of particular relevance. This book first identifies the issues involved in defence acquisition in this area. It then goes on to establish some templates of naval modernisation as a means of assessing the policies of individual countries in the region, by looking at the naval policies of the big four. Finally, the general issue of naval modernisation in South-East Asia is illustrated through a more detailed examination of some of the major issues common to all countries of the area. These include the defence-industrial perspective, specific examinations of submarine and surface ship acquisition processes, and a review of the balance to be struck between naval and coastguard forces in the area. This book will be of much interest to students of naval power, maritime security, South-East Asian politics, strategic studies, and IR in general.
